A NIGHT DEDICATED TO GOOD HIP HOP & TOO MUCH ALCOHOL ..

WITH THE LEGENDARY ROOTS CREW.

aaanddd all you gotta do for full view, is get lost between god and a shot of scotch.
the night started off with some heavy pre-gaming.

AND THEN.. we walked across the street.

i didn't like the sunglasses so we needed another.

THE ROOTS IN REVIEW
sooo after finishing a shit load of silent sam and some blazing.. we get there.
we had a sweet spot, about two rows away from the stage in a side box. i would stand on the chairs, and then fall off. my cousin would stand, and fall. i am so surprised i did not lose anything, cause i was so drunk. i remember eating the ketchup chips that my cousin snuck in for me.. and i thought that was the sickest thing in life!
anyways.. when they did "you got me" i nearly died. we were all singing in unison. it was beaaaauuutttiiifffuuul. hearing that shit live was something on another level. everything sounded so much more crisp and hard, whilst still smoothing your soul.
they back tracked between old, with A LOT more new stuff than old. which didn't surprise me, but kind of made me sad. haha.. but i get it, it's their tour to promote their new shit.. WHICH IS STILL GOOD.
the best part about this show was the group of old people beside me who stayed sitting while everyone was standing.. clearly not their scene.. they were trying to groove and about fifteen minutes in they left. why would you leave a show you payed $60 to go see?! and who cares what baldy thinks, one guy was actually feeling it but he followed the bald guy. silly grownups.
their energy from start to finish was turned up to their full potential. they poured their heart and souls into their performance and i couldn't have been more happy. we got to the after party, and i for some reason thought it was a good idea to drink more beer.. I GOT REEEDICULOUSLY SLOPPY.. blacked out a few times, didn't know where i was. but whatevah!! quest's set afterward was INSANEEEE!! he is officially my favorite dj..!! i need to get a questlove set burned ASAP! or.. he needs to sell that shit!! does he sell it?! I WANT IT! someone! tell me.
aaaaaaaaand meeting people with such talent, AND MODESTY, was more than i could ever ask for.
IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THEM YET, FLY, WALK, RUN, WHATEVER IT TAKES.. get to them. it's worth every fucking penny!
BEST CONCERT I'VE BEEN TO THIS YEAR. & that's saying a lot!!
